Education Materials

Since 1993, Exemplars has been the leader in performance assessment and instruction as well as formative assessment.

Exemplars provides authentic, standards-based tasks for schools and districts in Math, Science and Writing. Our open-ended material engages students and promotes reasoning and communication. Tasks are classroom tested and can be used for assessment, instruction and professional development.

Rubrics and anchor papers (hallmarks of Exemplars) provide both teachers and administrators with a way of assessing students' problem-solving skills, science-process skills, writing skills and communication skills.Our material is aligned to Common Core, state and national standards.

Embedding Common Core aligned Exemplars tasks into our units of study has strengthened teachers understanding of the Common Core Learning Standards while improving student performance. Significant growth in student achievement has taken place across the grades in the Mathematical Practices ... even our youngest students do the work of real mathematicians to represent and solve authentic real-world problems.
